Confessions

 

vest: jcpenney (last summer)   maxi dress: target (recently $14 clearance) 

I own a denim vest and have had it for awhile but have yet to wear it.  After wearing this vest I think it's time. 
This may be my favorite outfit I've worn all summer.  
I organized my bathroom closet and got rid of a lot of random, old things.  Including some fertility medicine, needles and all that.  It was a weird feeling.  Not that I at all want to be in the place again, but it took up so much of my emotions, time, connected me to a lot of people and felt like it defined me for awhile.  
Sometimes I wouldn't mind if our cat ran away.
I didn't expect to be so emotional about Addilyn turning one.  I can get teary eyed thinking about it, especially when I look at her baby pictures.  
Chris and I have enjoyed McDonald's $1 dipped ice cream cones multiple times lately and it's reaching the top of my summer favorite list.  
I feel like I have a million different projects going on at once.  Things for Addilyn's party and lots of things around our house.  But mostly I love it.  I feel more accomplished than I have for awhile.  

Recent confessions

necklace: ebay ($1)  shorts: old navy  sandals: target

I wore this to a friends house and one of my guy friends was basically wearing the same outfit.  His shorts thankfully were longer and he didn't have a somewhat gaudy owl necklace, but it still made me question my outfit choice. 

About a third of the time I throw Addi's clothes in the laundry it's because I've spilled food on them from eating while holding her.  One time I dropped a piece of lettuce right in her mouth.  Don't worry I got it out. 

Sometimes I wish overalls were still stylish.  They were just so darn comfortable.  And I'm not talking about the skimpy weird overalls that I have seen on pinterest.  I'm talking the baggy, extremely unflattering overalls like the picture above.  

and you don't need to tell me that they probably weren't ever really stylish.  

I still wish that I needed to wear glasses. I think they are cute and would make me look smarter. I am still afraid of trying to pull of the fake glasses look, but I want some glasses like these so I can copy looks like this: 

This Carter's commercial made me cry.  and reminds me how incredibly lucky I am to have my baby girl. 

I kind of locked Addilyn in the car with the keys the other day.  And by kind of I mean I did.  It makes me feel better by saying kind of since it was only for twenty seconds.  I had a mini heart attack and then Chris told me he had another set of keys in the house (we were in the drive way).  I proceeded to cry imagining if I had done that while out somewhere.  Seriously still feeling bad about it and practically afraid to ever shut my car doors.  And slightly regret sharing this as I feel like a terrible mom fail.  
Hope everyone has a great long week!  

Confessions

 
shirt: AE (high school old)  skirt: old navy  scarf: gap

I confess this is my first attempt at pattern mixing and I feel like I pretty much failed.

I kind of feel like a homeless person in this outfit.  Not sure if it's the extreme tired Monday face or what. 

(I confess that I'm pretty sure this was actually a Thursday.)

I wasn't even going to post this outfit but it is crucial to the next part of my post.  

I confess the day I wore this outfit to school I wore my shirt backwards.

Thankfully it was only 9:00 when one of my students told me there was a pocket on the back of my shirt and that I must have my shirt on backwards. 

and thankfully they are only 8 year olds that saw.  Still embarrassing.  8 year olds can be brutal.

I confess that my bedroom used to be decked out in everything Mickey Mouse. 

Wallpaper, bedspread, figurines, pillow, even my pajamas. 

As a matter of a fact this was my Christmas loot one year. 

Maybe I was a little too obsessive.  

I confess that I that I've pretty much failed another year in a row at growing a successful garden.
This year I produced one pepper.

It better taste delicious.
